Knottz of Yarn

I always have so many crafts that I want to make but my hands can never seem to keep up with my ideas! LOL! I am currently working on caterpillars, a penguin  design, pumpkins, headbands, owls, and a puppy.

Ok.. I am new to writing patterns so bare with me... I am going to give this my best first attempt... Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is done with a plastic I hook and worsted weight yarn. ( I used "I LOVE THIS YARN" by Hobby Lobby). Chain 45 1. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each sc across, Ch 2 and turn 2. Dc in each sc across, ch 1, turn 3. sc in each sc across, turn 4. sl st in next 10 sts, ch1, hdc in the same st and in the next 25 sts, leave remaining sts unworked, ch1, turn 5. hdc in each sts across, ch 1, turn 6. hdc first 2 sts together, hdc across until only 2 sts remaining, hdc last 2 sts together, ch1, turn 7. hdc across 8. repeat row 6 9. hdc across 10. repeat row 6 11. hdc across 12. hdc across 13 & 14. repeat row 6 15.  hdc across 16-27. hdc across 28. hdc across * at the end of this row sc evenly around complete outside, join with sl st and fasten off. Sew a button in middle of diaper cover and button in row two that was done in...

So I decided to try out Harris Teeter. I went when they were doing their super double deals where they double coupons up to $1.98. Well... It was well worth it!!!! I got $160 worth of groceries for $75!!! That definately made it worth the extra drive!! They had a lot of items by 2 get 3 free!!! They can be a little pricey when items are not on sale but when they have a sale it can't be beat!!

These are my latest hats! I am so happy with the way they turned out! They are a owl and a monkey. The monkey has a matching diaper cover!

This is a great way to make money doing what you already do!!! You get $5 for signing up and $5 for every friend that signs up!! Last week I bought Daipers at Target.com and got Free Shipping plus saved $20 over the local stores and got 5.6% cash back for going through  this shop at home site!! http://www.shopathome.com/?IAFCG=gVCK/LqTnJncPIbVC5e/FQ== Please check it out. You will be glad you did!!

Ok... So times are tough and money is tight, Right?? Well I have decided that I am going to challenge myself and see how cheap I can get our monthly bills and grocery bills. I have my clothes hanging on the line now!! Anybody else wanna get on board and compare each month and see how much of a reduction we can make in our electricity, grocery bill, etc.??? To start I am using my clothes line and crock pot a lot more to save on electricity and trying to utilize every trip in my car to cut down on how much I have to drive. So who wants in?? Please share you ideas and suggestions. I will post an updates of my savings.
